    Story Behind the Song
    When whatever is beating you down seems tremendously big and powerful, sometimes the best way to fight back is to sing a blues about it. I wrote this one thinking about how globalization really works, what it does to people and how we might deal with it!

    Lyrics
    GLOBALIZATION BLUES

    You can’t hide in your bed;
    You can’t hide in your head.
    They’ll run over you; you’ll be worse off than dead.
    I’m talkin’ globalization, globalization.
    Drug dealing, money stealing globalization blues.

    They say forget your suspicions;
    Work in sweatshop conditions.
    Sew some more sneakers and guard these munitions.
    It’s globalization, globalization.
    People bashing, job smashing globalization blues.

    They say your country’s in debt
    And you’ve got to pay.
    If you want to eat then do what we say.
    That’s globalization, globalization.
    Slave made, world trade globalization blues.

    Since you can’t get away
    Better fight them today.
    From Seattle to Prague, Manila Bay to LA,
    It’s globalization, globalization.
    On the street, we’re gonna beat the globalization blues.
